Supplier: Beer52
This is a brewery set up earlier this year by the same guy who set up Blue Monkey brewery. This is one of what they call their Launch beer, with this being their sessionable IPA, made with a range of american hops found in the iconic West Coast IPAs. I served this straight from the fridge.

Appearance: A pale straw colour with hints of gold. There is a medium white head that thins but remains throughout.
Aroma: Resin and grapefruit hop notes, with hints of malt and perfume in the back.
Flavour: A front of lots of resin notes, turning to a hoppy bitterness on the back. There are also distinct cereal notes in the back.
Body: Refreshing and quite light, but with a chalky texture on the back.
Aftertaste: Lots of dry hoppy bitterness.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4, nice, drinkable, and refreshing - but nothing special.
Price Range: The last from the box that had 8 for £14 - so £1.75 for a 330ml can; about right for what it is.
Food Pairings: The notes are plain but there are lots of hoppy notes, so something simple but with a bit of strength, such as macaroni and cheese.
